The fallout from Everton’s 2-1 loss to Bournemouth yesterday has shifted from the pitch to the broadcasting booth. Social media is currently awash with furious Toffees supporters demanding that Sky Sports permanently remove Jamie Carragher from their fixtures following what many are calling his most “disrespectful” commentary to date.
​The Comments That Sparked Outrage
​During the post-match breakdown, Carragher didn’t just critique the tactics—he eviscerated the club’s DNA. The pundit pulled no punches, labeling the squad’s late-game collapse as “utterly pathetic” and “a stain on the shirt.” > “This isn’t just a bad result; it’s a lack of heart,” Carragher remarked. “Watching them in those final ten minutes was like watching a group of players who have already accepted relegation. It was unprofessional, lazy, and frankly, an insult to the fans who pack out that stadium.”
​A “Red” Agenda?
​The backlash was instantaneous. Everton fans, already reeling from the nature of the defeat, accused Carragher of using his platform to “kick a club while it’s down.” The hashtag #BanCarragher began trending within minutes of the final whistle, with supporters claiming his Liverpool ties make it impossible for him to provide fair analysis.
​While Carragher’s defenders argue he is simply “telling it like it is” regarding Everton’s dismal home form, the toxicity between the pundit and the Goodison faithful has reached a point of no return.
